SUMMARY:Webinar | Responding to the Climate Crisis in Times of Uncertainty: A Clarion Call for Climate Leadership
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Global Stocktake at COP28 will evaluate how much progress has been made in the fight against the climate crisis and what more is needed to accelerate climate action forward. But global climate efforts are currently way off track\, and no one is at more risk than the vulnerable communities in the Global South who are facing a mounting debt crisis and have few resources to respond to escalating climate impacts. Without immediate leadership to drive deep emissions cuts and scale-up finance to respond to these impacts\, more people will be pushed into extreme inequality and poverty. \nWhat climate-vulnerable countries need at the COP28 climate summit in the UAE is a major course correction driven by a political response that will that rapidly decarbonize all sectors\, promote adaptation\, scale up climate finance and increase resources to address loss and damage. \nJoin the Allied for Climate Transformation by 2025 (ACT2025) consortium for a high-level webinar\, where policymakers and advocates will set clear expectations for a positive outcome at COP28 that meets the needs of climate-vulnerable countries. During the event speakers representing voices and expertise from all over the world will show where action is possible and underscore why a renewed sense of commitment to the Paris Agreement is needed to drive breakthrough solutions across the $100 billion finance commitment\, the global goal on adaptation\, loss and damage funding arrangements\, the new global goal on finance\, equitably phasing out fossil fuels and more. \nSpeakers:\n\nAna Toni\, National Secretary for Climate Change at the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change\, Brazil\nTina Stege\, Climate Envoy for the Marshall Islands\nCarlos Lopes\, Professor\, Nelson Mandela School\, University of Cape Town; Chair of the African Climate Foundation Board; Former Executive Secretary\, Economic Commission for Africa\nJaime de Bourbon de Parme\, Climate Envoy\, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands\nAni Dasgupta\, President and CEO\, World Resources Institute (introductory remarks)\nModerator: Sharanjit Leyl\, International broadcaster\n\n\nTimezones: 8:30-10 AM EST / 2.30 – 4:00 PM CET \nThe event will be hosted in English with simultaneous interpretation in Spanish and French. \nModality : Online  \nPlatform : ZOOM  \nClick here for registration\nConcept Note

SUMMARY:South Asia Regional Resilience Hub
DESCRIPTION:  \nICCCAD believes that placing local constituencies from local geographies at the center of the discussion allows front-line leaders to share their local adaptation strategies and internal knowledge and experience to engage with external knowledge and enhance their understanding of the impact of climate. Movement building is most effective within your own locality. Organizing constituencies within local geographies makes it easier to understand the nature of power\, engage with it\, demand accountability and be accountable. \n\nProgramme of Events\nThe inaugural event of this year’s South Asia Regional Resilience Hub will be held on 20 September 2022 virtually with the speech from world renown climate scientist Dr. Saleemul Huq\, Director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD). The ICCCAD will host the event focusing on the frontline people who directly dealing with the adverse effect of climate change in South Asia.\nThe events hosted at the South Asia Region Hub at COP26 was an eye opener and gave ICCCAD a glimpse of the possibilities of going deeper and engaging specific geographical constituencies from the frontlines at the regional hub at COP27.\nICCCAD believes that by placing specific constituencies at the center of these discussions gives a deeper\, more nuanced and rounded understanding of specific local adaptation strategies and vulnerabilities based on specific geographies.\n To know more visit the event page

SUMMARY:Community-led Adaptation: Water is Life
DESCRIPTION:Significant climate impacts have begun to rattle the communities around the world…heat waves\, wildfires\, cloud bursts\, cyclones\, floods\, droughts…While experts and policy-makers debate causes and mitigation models\, local communities\, largely the poor and vulnerable\, bear most of the consequences of such climate changes. They struggle to find local solutions to adapt vigorously and minimize adverse consequences on their livelihood and well-being.\nWater is at the centre of the impacts. Deforestation causes changes in rainfall patterns; chemicals used in intensive farming and urban over-usage (and wastage) have been causing depletion of groundwater\, with reducing recharge. Rapid commercialisation of coastal areas\, wet-lands and mangroves is further destroying natural water carrying systems. The pandemic of past 18 months has hugely disrupted the global-supply chain\, thereby raising questions about relevance of universal policies\, irrespective of contextual particularities.\nLocal communities in rural areas have been relying on their local resources to face the pandemic; they are using local technologies based on indigenous knowledge for water harvesting\, storage and distribution. The choice of crops\, grazing of cattle and seasonality of migration are influenced by their knowledge of water\, rainfall\, and equitable practices of governance of water in and by the community.\nAs many of these community-led models of water governance have been marginalized through pre-pandemic policies\, new efforts are required to reinvigorate community-led climate adaptation models. Fresh deliberations about policy and investment choices need to be undertaken simultaneously\, if countries like India want to build back fairer and sustainably in post- pandemic recovery.\nPRIA’s interventions in the past have focused upon integrating local traditional water practices with government’s programmes on water management. Mobilising Gram Sabha in PESA areas for community-led governance of natural resources\, including water and forests\, have been documented and disseminated by PRIA. Building local capacity of panchayats and civil society to co-govern water bodies by integrating these in local planning had also been undertaken in several states.\nLearning from practices being developed and followed in community-led adaptation to ensure that the ‘source of life: water’ is regenerated for future has become urgent. As part of its PRIA@40 conversations\, we are co-convening this dialogue in partnership with ICCCAD\, Bangladesh and UNNATI\, India on 1st October 2021 between 4 pm and 6 pm. The dialogue is aimed at discussing the following questions: \n\nWhat methods and approaches have been effectively deployed in many current examples of community-governed water arrangements?\nWhat lessons\, principles and strategies can be identified for more vigorous dissemination of community-led adaptation of water resources?\n\n \nProgram Design\n04:00- 04:10             Welcome and overview (Dr Anshuman Karol\, PRIA)\n(Moderator: Binoy Acharya\, Director\, Unnati\, Ahmedabad)\n04:10-04:25              Opening comments: Setting the stage \n\nProf Saleemul Huq\, Director\, ICCCAD\, Bangladesh\n\n04:25- 05:25             Panel discussion- Community led water management- Examples and case studies \n\nSwapni Shah\, Program Director\, Unnati\, Jodhpur\, Rajasthan\, India\nSanjay Joshie\, Executive Director\, Foundation for Ecological Security (FES)\, India \nA Vikranth Raja (IAS)\, Secretary\, Public Works Department\, Govt of Puducherry (tbc)\nJames Kharkongor\, Deputy Project Director\, Meghalaya Basin Development Agency\, Meghalaya\, India\nDr Sarder Shafiqul Alam\, Coordinator\, Urban Climate Change Programme and Country Coordinator\, ACCCRN-ICCCAD Bangladesh\nSusan Nanduddu\, Uganda\, Africa\n\n05:25- 05:35             Q&A\n 05:35- 05:50             Special Address: “Water: A Shared Commitment for Sustainable Management and Long-term Security”\nBharat Lal (IAS)\, Additional Secretary (JJM)\, Department of Drinking Water and  Sanitation\, Ministry of Jal Shakti\, Government of India (tbc)\n05:50- 06:00             Key takeaways and Ways Forward \n\nDr Rajesh Tandon\, Founder President\, PRIA\, India

SUMMARY:Toward Locally Led Adaptation
DESCRIPTION:Toward Locally Led Adaptation: Fusion of Local and Scientific Knowledge and the Role of Universities in Strengthening Community Resilience \n\nDate: 10 March 2021\n\nTime: 14:00-15:30 (GMT+7)\nWhere: Online\n  \n\nRegistration \n\n\nDescription\nAgainst the backdrop of the current disconnect between local efforts and national frameworks and the urgency for locally led adaptation\, the session will discuss the importance of fusing traditional knowledge and scientific knowledge\, and of translating highly technical climate data and information into meaningful and simple user-friendly climate services products for local communities. A gender balanced panel representing different sub-regions of the Asia-Pacific and local level will highlight the gaps and challenges in doing so and suggest the steps forward to bring this into action. Finally\, the panel will explore what role universities\, given their multi-and-interdisciplinary pool of expertise and their connection with field-based research\, can play in building the capacity of local stakeholders to enable them as leaders of ‘locally led adaptation’ in strengthening community resilience. The session will be followed by an open discussion with the audience to bring in their perspectives and ideas.\n \nModerator\nProf. Saleemul Huq\, Director\, ICCCAD\n \nSpeakers\nMs. Ugyen Yangchen\, Lecturer\, College of Natural Resources\, Royal University of Bhutan\, Bhutan\nHon.
